Your Firefox bookmarks were stored in your profile folder. Hopefully these articles will help you locate that data in your backup.

If instead you are seeing your IE Favorites, you can import those into Firefox, but they probably aren't identical.

Any luck?

I am not trying to recover the files from old profile folders. The files are saved on my computer c drive as discrete folders.

Firefox can't use "discrete" folders or files, you need a bookmarks format that Firefox can understand - html, json, or sqlite.

If the files in those folders are Internet Explorer-style .url shortcuts, then if you move them to IE's Favorites folder, you should be able to import them from there into Firefox (either by having Firefox import from IE or by exporting an HTML format bookmark file from IE and importing that into Firefox). But I don't think there is a way to do it from an arbitrary location on the C drive.

I will try that. THanks

I am trying to import and when I click on the firefox box at the top of the screen, the drop down is different than on the tutorial. It does not have a import button.
